“In some tissue paper the pigments are fake and could be damaging for the hair. Not only that, depending on how it is made and what is used it could stain hair and make the colour harder to come out.

“Also, if it doesn't turn out the way you want and it stains, it could take a while to get it out your hair. If anything and if possible use the temporary colours you can get in the shops. Like a lot of internet trends and hacks, be careful.” She warns people looking to try this at home.

Emileigh Marley, 10, originally saw the trick on YouTube and begged her mum to recreate it at home.

“I was very worried it would damage her hair, as her hair is so beautiful and light blonde but I researched it a lot online and read a lot of reviews to make sure it was safe and everything seemed positive so thought it was worth a try.” Sam explained.

"Emileigh chose the colour pink as she thought it would be really bright on her hair and look the best.

"The results were so much better than I thought it would be and the colour was so much more vibrant.

"She has had so many compliments and comments on it and now loads of her friend's parents have ordered the same paper to do their hair.”
